If
the rain ever stops, It’s time for doing a bit of pruning this week, firstly
I’m hoping to tackle the Wisteria and will cut all stems coming off the main
framework to 2 or 3 buds of the previous years’ growth. It’s growing over a
wooden pagoda against our garage and if I don’t cut it back now it ends up
covering the roof and the tendrils have been known to get under the tiles!
Next it’s onto my espaliered Apple & Pear trees, I
have 2 of each going around my walled Veg Plot and I keep them pruned close to
the main stem leaving three healthy buds.
Where it’s been so mild the buds are really developed and it won’t be
long before I get some blossom! Aaah the first sights of spring!! Please rain
stop!!!!
